Miles Grimshaw - The DNA of Software Companies - [Invest Like the Best, EP.312]

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">My guest today is</span> <a href="https://twitter.com/milesgrimshaw"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Miles Grimshaw</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">. Miles is in his early thirties and is a General Partner at Benchmark. His experience and success belie his age. He was an early investor in Segment, Benchling, and Airtable, all before they had 30 employees. I have learned a ton from Miles about software investing and that’s why I was excited to have him on the show. We discuss his biological approach to investing, whether pure API companies can be good businesses, and what most has his attention right now. Please enjoy this conversation with Miles Grimshaw.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><a href="https://pod.link/founders"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Listen to Founders podcast</span></a></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Founders Episode</span> <a href= "https://founders.simplecast.com/episodes/136-a-success-story-by-estee-lauder"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">#136 A Success Story: Estee Lauder </span></a></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Invest Like the Best with</span> <a href= "https://www.joincolossus.com/episodes/85503387/senra-passion-pain?tab=transcript"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">David Senra: Passion & Pain</span></a></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For the full show notes, transcript, and links to mentioned content, check out the episode page</span> <a href= "https://www.joincolossus.com/episodes/29895246/grimshaw-assessing-the-dna-of-software-companies"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">here</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>-----</strong></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>This episode is brought to you by</strong> <a href= "https://tegus.co/patrick"><strong>Tegus</strong></a><strong>.
